grantroederdisaster 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Good move! Another god move would be to make casual ticket prices a more fairer price in particular reintroducing 16-21 casual tickets cause then more fans will be at the ground to see Roy Waller rightfully remembered!

Davo 0 Posted September 8, 2010 I really like this. There were some rumblings of discontent that the club hadn''t done anything for Roy but they took their time got things organised and came up with a truly fitting tribute to this City Legend.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZiggyPiggy 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Chuffed with this - more significant that just a minute''s applause before one early season league game. Good thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted September 8, 2010 It is a fitting and lasting tribute to keep the memory of Roy Waller alive at the club. As others have said far better than a minutes applause that lasts... a minute! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,281 Posted September 8, 2010 A most commendable gesture by NCFC and I''ll ensure that I take my seat earlier to witness the event.A lasting tribute and memory to reward Roy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieFarlie 0 Posted September 8, 2010 I am delighted by this gesture; I emailed the club on the announcement of the passing of Roy as I was very upset that no gesture or reference was planned for the following home game. This has gone a long way to restoring my faith in the club as this will prove to be a more memorable and last tribute.great tribute for a great gentleman.

methcanary 0 Posted September 9, 2010 Yeh I also agree with Jas''s suggestion. Will put a smile on everyone''s face, so there can be no better tribute to Roy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Smiley 3 Posted September 9, 2010 Yep a smart move by the club, a fitting tribute because come Saturday afternoon or during a midweek game there was no other place that Roy would rather have been .It really was a pity we lost on penalties to Birmingham in the play-off final in 2002, not just because of the promotion to the prem but because we didn''t get to hear Roy really go off the Richter scale.

snakepiter 0 Posted September 10, 2010 Lets all break into the chant '' Theres only one Roy Waller'' like we did in front of City Hall on that memorable May night,I know that Roy said on Radio Norfolk later he was deeply touched to be seranaded by 40,000 odd city fans that night.
